Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

Green Slip trigger question:
I'm blocked around 57hrs for the month and just flew a 2 day GS. Does the 10:30hr pay for the GS count towards the gs trigger of 75hrs bringing me to 67:30? I will now need 7:30 to meet the trigger, at which point I get the credit of 1030 for the gs?
TIA

If you fly 7:30, it will all be at straight pay. Your first 75 hours will be at straight pay. If you then pick up a trip, your next 10:30 hours will let you get the double pay from the previous greenslip. Make sure you take 5 hours from your bank. That will help you get closer to the trigger.

you can borrow up to 5 hours from your bank to help you get there.

Let me re-phrase my question...Im at 57hr for the month and I fly a GS, does the GS now bring my "straight pay" to 67:30 for the month. I understand the 75hr trigger and I get straight pay for any GS under the trigger. I can't wrap my head around no credit of straight pay time towards the trigger!!
Lets say someone senior (not me!) drops their entire line for the month. They then are able to fly four 4 day GS during the month each one valued at 21hrs. They now have 84 hrs of pay....is it only straight pay of 84hrs or will they get 168hrs since they flew over the trigger?
I know that is far fetched but it allows me to show my point about a GS helping you GET to the trigger.
I think I am sitting at 67:30 for the month towards the GS trigger and all I need to get me the rest of the way to the trigger is 7:30
Thanks

Forgive me for stating the obvious, but have you checked your time card? If the trip has closed out the answer should be on your time card.

If a pilot flies 84 hours of greenslip pay and that's his only flying for the month. He would get paid 93 hours for the month if the GS trigger is 75.

First place I looked and still shows "open".

Sinca,

I think you have it correct. The only thing that I will add is that training, vacation or sick leave will also count toward the trigger - so as was suggested the time-card is your best source of information in this regard.

Sinca,

Only the hours above the trigger are double pay. So in your case, it you fly another 7:30, then the whole month would be at straight pay. Lets say you fly another 2 day worth 10:30 (instead of your hypothetical 7:30 trip), you would be at 78 hours. The 3 hours above the trigger will get doubled resulting in your month paying 81 hours.

Hockey has a good (correct) explanation above^^^^

As was mentioned, you can borrow 5 hours from your bank to get you to the trigger. You're borrowing from your bank at 1:1, but the GS above the trigger is 2:1 so you come out ahead. Clear as mud?

Additionally, this pilot could borrow 5 hours from his bank, and receive an additional 10 hours of pay, bringing his month to 103 hours. This is why it's a good idea to borrow from your bank if you don't have enough straight pay to reach the trigger. It essentially costs this pilot 5 hours to make 10.

Sorta like I'll give you a $5 bill for a $10 bill :D

Let's not forget that next time.

How so? Where was the implication that the hiring would occur as soon as the contract became effective? BTW, by the end of 2013 Delta was supposed to be operating 16 B717s. We fell short by 7 airplanes.

Go to page 2. The answer you seek is there. They give you what your GS pay for the month is and the GS trigger and your credit toward the trigger.
The simple answer is that a GS is double pay no credit if you have reached the trigger. If not it pays as a WS with single pay and credit foe any amount under the trigger.
